Disc jockey

"Burn down the disco Hang the blessed DJ Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life Hang the blessed DJ Because the music they constantly play On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down Provincial towns you jog 'round Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ"

"It was a DJ style which helped to create the lifestyle which came to be known as hip hop. At the beginning of the disco era in the first half of the 1970s, regular disco jocks in clubs were most concerned with the blend between one record and the next - matching tempos to make a smooth transition which, at its best, could continually alter the mood on the dancefloor without breaking the flow. At its worst the technique could turn the night into one endless and inevitably boring song."

"I'm getting a dj" where dj is a broad service focused "chotchkie" or junket"

"Last night a DJ saved my life, yeah 'Cause I was sittin' there bored to death And in just one breath he said You gotta get up You gotta get on You gotta get down girl ... Last night a DJ saved my life Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart Last night a DJ saved my life Last night a DJ saved my life with a song"
